step-by-step explanation:

thats the first half

total of apples - take away four

6-4 = 2

answer is 2 apples

given the equation is 8+9z=-6, the first step would be to subtract the 8 from both sides:

8+9z-8=-6-8

since 8 minus 8 = 0, this would cancel out the 8. and since -6 minus 8 equals -14, the equation would look like this

9z = -14
